We welcome asylum seekers and refugees

For you have been a refuge to the poor, a refuge to the needy in their distress, a shelter from the rainstorm and a shade from the heat. When the blast of the ruthless was like a winter rainstorm, the noise of aliens like heat in a dry place, you subdued the heat with the shade of clouds; the song of the ruthless was stilled.

Isaiah 25:4-5

***

Loving God, protect all seeking refuge. May the boundary lines be lifted and fall once more in pleasant places. Give fearful hearts reason to be glad, weary souls cause to rejoice and exhausted bodies a place to rest secure. Lead us together on the path to life as we share from your abundance so all may know the fullness of joy. Amen.
